Yeah, but Openbox isn't suitable for new users, at least not on its own. As part of something like LXDE or LXQt, it's definitely workable, but without a deeper understanding of Openbox, those are pretty much as good as any other Desktop Environment (except maybe that LXDE/LXQt are also among the lightest DEs around). I would rather recommend either Ubuntu GNOME, if you want a rather unconvential, but highly integrated, highly user-friendly interface, or Linux Mint Cinnamon, if you want a cleaned up Windows-like interface, or Kubuntu, if you want a Windows-like interface which just smothers you in options, tweaks and customizability.
